This year our sale will be far more important than ever before, as our stock is fuller,
more varied, and owing to our taking advantage of Tariff changes and the business de
pression, allows us to offer more tempting prices. TTow is the time to get out your sav
ings and invest them to good advantage. While a Dollar in our house is not any bigger
in size than anywhere else, it looks so because it will buy so much more. This is not a
sale of old goods carried over from year to year, for at the commencemant of the year our
stock was extremely low, and this has allowed us to be liberal buyers. This is strictly a
sale of Fresh, Choice and
DATE
MERCHANDISE,
Bought as Low as Cash will Purchase, and Now Offered at Unheard-of Prices.
We are not dissatisfied with our goods; they are all right, for our business
during the present year has been extremely satisfactory, beyond any sanguine an
ticipations we might have formed at its commencement. We therefore owe some
thing to our friends and customers, and will endeavor to show our appreciation of
their kindness by giving them an opportunity of selecting from our stock, goods
at away below regular prices. As every article in the house will be marked down
it will be impossii.L for us to be ready until Wednesday. To avoid confusion,
goods will be sold at regular prices until then.
Of course, if you haven't a cent in the world, these reduced prices will be of
little service to you. Or if you have so much money that you don't know how to
spend it, then reductions are not an indncement. But if you are like the ma
jority of people, with just a little money and inclined to make it. go as far as pos
sible, then our figures are interesting. We want in this sale to see how much
more we can make a Dollar buy than it used to.

Judge Bradshaw today signed the
"certificate of probable cause" in Sav
age's case, and fixed his bonds at $3,500.
Savage will now probably be allowed to
remain here until the supreme court
passes upon his case. As Savage is also
required to give $3,000 bonds in the
United States court, on ' the charge of
robbing the mail, the total bond required
before he can get out is $6,500.

exercises were fine. The music by
the double quartet, consisting of Profes
sor' Stratton and pupils from the high
school, was perhaps the. best thing of the
kind ever heard in The Dalles. Besides
Professor Stratton, those composing the
double quartet were Myrtle Micbell,
Georgia Sampson, May Sechler, Daisy
Allaway, Glen Allen, Chester Starr and
Curtis Egbert. The duet by Myrtle
Mich ell and Glen Allen was also very
good. Mr. Allen has an exceptionally
good tenor voice, and can rest assured
that it was heard with a great deal of
pleasure by the large audience on his
first appearance. The recitations were
all good, that of Miss Catharine Martin
exceptionally so. The discussion of the
"Adoption of Oregon Text Books" did
not take as wide a range as the subject
would permit.

The Jolly Old Chums."
"Jolly Old Chums" will be seen at the
opera house the night of Dec. 15. This
comedy is full ot fun, music and dances,
as there are plums in a plum pudding,
which means, of course, that there is no
limit to the good things "in it." The
"Jolly Old Chums" is said to make one
laugh in spite of one's self. It is im
poesible to watch the two young bright
comedians, J. J. Krett and Budd Ross
and not forget all the troubles one has to
contend with in daily life. It seems to
be the mission of the interpreters of this
very funny farce, to make one forget that
there is such a thing as melancholia
The songs are said to be exceedingly
bright and catchy, comedians full of
wit, medleys that are brand new, pre
sen ted by a host of pretty girls. The
Loring sisters (Boaita and. Myrtla) are
with this company and have met with
wonderful success.
Their specialty is entirely original and
unique and is called the umbrella dance,
The Loring sisters being its first ex
ponents on the stage, and they are cer
tain to have imitators. Towards the
close of the second act, they come trip
ping in, their faces and bodies hidden by
a gaudy parasol, backward and forward
they dance in unison, with only their
yellow buskined, black hosed limbs in
View of the audience. A change in the
music, and the umbrellas gracefully drop
behind them, and then with their faces
smiling at the delighted audience they
repeat the steps. The Loring girls are
St. Louians, born and reared there, and
have been sen at the different places of
amusement in this specialty during the
past season. Reeerved seats at Blakeley
